That's pretty strange.

Is that finish going to be on for an o-ring? Did you make a very fast speed, very small, very slow feed finish pass?

No it was reamed. So drilled to 10.8mm then reamed to 11mm. I went at the specified speed for an 11mm reamer in aluminum. Which was quite slow.

Didn't like the default LED indicator options for SD card data logging. So I sent it over CAN to the IQ3s. This warning light will be shared with low fuel.

FYI, the Racepak has a brightness setting that you'll want to tweak for a car that gets driven at night. Default is set to either 6 or 10, but you can set it to 1 and it's perfectly visible during the day and perfect at night.

The IQ3 Street actually has a bright and a dim setting that is triggered off the tail lights. I have day set to max bright, and night is down at 1. Warnings are always max bright, and shift lights have some other setting I can't remember.

Friend found this stick of 1" thick steel for me. So I cut a chunk off and drilled it for the miata bolt pattern.

Are you planning on surfacing the rolled plate or just assuming it's flat? Flatness tolerance on that is .070" - .075" so your flange will take on whatever it is.

Yeah, i need to do that too. Forgot to bring it in today

Also, the flange wont ever stay perfectly flat. Welding will cause it to warp some, so I will be surfacing the flange anyways.

Anyone interested in a walkthrough of the Racepak features/settings or whatnot? I just like playing with the thing.

Fun welding looks fun and time consuming. lol

You should do the walk through video anyway and put it in your racepack thread. I'd recommend you do shots first.

Always learning. I've been putting too much heat into them. Part of it is impatience, part of it is not perfect fitment. So I can't get the pretty colors I want. I need more practice.

Fitment and prep make stupid differences

I still can't get over the knock module install haha. Soldering pin headers to pin headers. That and soldering the flyback wire from the ms3 board to the surface mount pad on ms3x are some of the reasons I was very happy to upgrade to ms3pro.

Right? Oh well. Gotta work with what you have. Probably should have saved my beta test credit and used it on an ms3pro instead of the knock module and RTC.

I'm going to redo the whole harness next winter with a jumper harness and some other changes.
